    That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Makes you wonder who made it.

    What is the archeological context? Was it made last year in a high school art project or found in a 8,000 year old village by archeologists?

    Well, we know one thing. It's from a left foot.:smuggrin:
    Where is the right foot? A one-legged person? Or was it just not found? Where did you get it and why a young woman? So many questions. :rolleyes:

    Just a bit south of me at Happisburgh on the east coast we had a whole family of footprints.
    950,000 years old.

    The Happisburgh footprints were a set of fossilized hominid footprints that date to the end of the Early Pleistocene, around 850–950,000 years ago. They were discovered in May 2013 in a newly uncovered sediment layer of the Cromer Forest Bed on a beach at Happisburgh in Norfolk, England, and carefully photographed in 3D before being destroyed by the tide shortly afterwards.

    Very cool. Clearly she weighed 122 pounds and she was walking at 5 miles an hour on a weekend. Where is Holmes when you need him? :yawn:

    And she had a mild case of frostbite in one of her toes about a year before and was eight months pregnant at the time she made the imprint
